It’s wonderful to register your marriage on your favorite character's anniversary ♡
The registration date is the beginning of your life as a couple.
While the common choices for your annual celebration of your registration date = wedding anniversary are either one of your birthdays, anniversary of your relationship, or Good Couple's Day,
it's also lovely to register your marriage on [the anniversary of your favorite character] ♡
One of my friends, who has loved Pokémon since childhood, registered her marriage on Pikachu Day with a Pikachu-themed marriage certificate, and she looked very happy.
(When it comes to famous characters, there are usually marriage certificates available! That’s nice too ♡)
